    Good Morning everyone from the land of the Fens on a bright sunny morning

    Off out in a few minutes to my health check - read all the bumph again and it takes 3 hours with treadmill [STRIKE]running [/STRIKE]walking, scans, blood tests, etc - hubbie is going to drop me off and pick me up afterwards

    Right, better go get dressed and then I'm off - see ya later

    At work - late due to appointment. Cake dust is the culprit for everything right now....Boss just in other room for 2 secs so thought I could partake in my 'new' fixation (at least this one is cheap :T)...

    Sofa removal? Sorry don't think I know any surgeons who can perform that handy *chuckle*....have you tried going to A+E or phoning NHS direct?

    Where in the fens are you? North or South? I was born and brought up N. fens but lived for 4 years south fens...The colour of the south fens soil is AMAZING :d..

    any fool can appreciate mountains but it takes a man of discernment to appreciate the Fens

    That is my frugal freebie for you today :)

    I have no frugal freebies for anyone else right now bar cake induced summer cold ;) and a sofa for Handy...LOL

    Hi everyone
    Been shopping this morning, sorry not around to give Fred the odd kick:D

    3Dogs - hope the tests went OK?

    Allie - make sure you research the company, have some questions in mind - I've got some standard interview ones, if you want I can PM them to you (been to more interviews that I've had hot dinners..) and answers to the standard interview questions (got some of those as well if you need some help). And relax... that's the main thing otherwise your brain will go into meltdown (and sorry if I sound like your mum:o)

    And hi to everyone else, hope everyone's enjoying the sunshine although, like Handy, I'm sneezing, sniffing and got itchy eyes today - I love hayfever:mad::mad:

    Those that matter don't mind, and those that mind don't matter :o

    No probs, Allie, just logging on to work for an hour, but will dig the stuff out at 1.30 and PM you then if that's OK for you?

    A notepad is a good idea. Write down some stats about the company you're going to see as well so you can answer the question "what do you know about the company?"

    The more preparation you do, the more confident you're going to feel, so practice answering some questions today (not just before the interview tomorrow).

    Back later

    Hello All

    So much to remember to say
    Good news on Bonnie 3dogs, hope your tests go well today (and no falling off the treadmill -it hurts!)
    Erme I'm sure you'll get your second star soon - is it 200 posts? in the meantime you can have an extra unofficial one just from us trollbusters - 2_star.gif

    Handy - not sure about copy iphones - I have a nokia 5800 which is like a nokia version of an iphone - i only do nokias (but admittedly I didn't pay for it - its on contract).
    Erme - glad things are a bit better with mother now (for a while at least).
    Allie - really good luck with your interview tomorrow - I think even more reason for a bumwiggle dance to put you in a positive mood, a bit like putting on a big (even if false) smile just before you walk in the room.

    Hello to everyone else
